2024 Fantasy Outlook
Evaluators have long suggested Baumann might be better served as a reliever since his command has been too shaky to hold down a starting role. Baltimore actually made that transition last spring, deploying the 28-year-old in shorter stints out the bullpen. He still made many multiple inning appearances (20), but the move to relief resulted in higher velocity on Baumann's 4-seam fastball, which he threw 96.4 mph on average while topping out close to triple digits. The right-hander also found success with his curveball to raise his strikeout rate from the teens to a still-below-average 22.3%. Baumann's 10 wins were 2nd-most among qualified relievers, but his walk issues remained (12.1%) and the contact he gave up was often smoked. Look for him to continue pitching out of the O's bullpen in 2024 as he attempts to improve his control. Read Past Outlooks

Snags win Wednesday
Baumann (1-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Red Sox, allowing a hit and striking out three without walking a batter in a scoreless inning.
ANALYSIS
Baumann benefited from the Orioles' rally in the seventh inning after he pitched the sixth. This was just his second scoreless outing of the campaign, as he's had some struggles with control so far. Baumann has allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits with a 6:4 K:BB over four innings through five appearances, and he has one blown save on his ledger. The right-hander is likely to remain in a low-leverage role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected appearance Monday
Baumann is getting called up to the Orioles' roster, with Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com speculating that Baumann will draw his first career start Monday.
ANALYSIS
Baumann has logged 22 innings of relief for the Orioles over the past two seasons. He's recorded a 4.50 ERA through seven big-league appearances spanning 12 innings this season. A top pitching prospect for Baltimore, the 26-year-old has logged an uninspiring 4.20 ERA across 60 innings through nine starts and 11 relief outings in Triple-A this season.

A top pitching prospect for Baltimore, the 26-year-old has logged an uninspiring 4.20 ERA across 60 innings through nine starts and 11 relief outings in Triple-A this season.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Baumann broke camp with the Orioles as a reliever in 2022, but he was often shuttled between the big leagues and Triple-A Norfolk. In the majors, he had a subpar 4.72 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 13 games (four starts). He wasn't much better in the minors, logging a 4.20 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB through 60 innings in 20 appearances (nine starts). At 27 years old, Baumann's running out of time to establish himself as a major-league starter, especially with several Baltimore prospects knocking on the door. He boasts a four-pitch repertoire headlined by a four-seamer that touches 96 mph and a 91.5 mph slider that generated a 22.5 percent whiff rate in the majors in 2022. Baumann has a career 47.1 percent groundball rate in the majors, so that works in his favor, but he'll likely be competing for a back-end rotation spot in 2023 and could again be a player that sees an evolving role throughout the season.
